After installation wiring of any projector to a T460, use a multimeter to check voltages of –9 on BOTH TX and RX pins in any
installation, as described in the troubleshooting part of this manual.
CTS is NOT needed in units tested, so only connect TX, RX and GND.
Panasonic plasma
A large number of units are drivable with a T460, and the range of units (assuming they have a serial D9 connector) can all be
driven. There are three groups of codes, but to make it simpler, the T460 projector/plasma/LCD selection menu divides the 62
device into nine “groups”. They range from “TH-nnPxGrp3” to “TH-nnPxGrp10”. The secret to these group names are that the
“nn” field represents the screen size, which ranges from 37 to 103 (screen size), the Px field is one or more letters starting with
a “P”. The code “Grp3” to “Grp10” is the Panasonic “generation” or “group” number. This is often followed by none, one or
two letter-codes, often county-specific. It is the number in the “Grp” section of the code which determines the codes needed.
The following tables show the mapping of T460 channel number, the string sent, and the input associated with that channel in
the manual, and how it is identified on the on-screen menu:
